Look at this beauty! Here is the brand new NARS Exposed Cheek Palette. I have everything you need to know along with photos and swatches. Enjoy!

What is the NARS Exposed Cheek Palette?

The palette is a collection of six universally flattering shades in a breakthrough formula for unparalleled colour:

• New lightweight formula – pigment rich for intense colour
• Colour Clarity Complex – translucent micro-spheres suspend pure pigments to form an innovative, lightweight powder base for maximum colour clarity
• Buildable coverage from sheer to bold – layers and blends seamlessly
• Developed to flatter every skin tone
• Includes both brights and neutrals to provide a range of intense colour
• Powders can be used wet or dry
• Contains 6 new shades – 5 blush shades and 1 highlighter
• Limited-edition palette

I am completely obsessed with the packaging of this palette. It has an amazing water-inspired mould with the watery pinks and oranges glowing through. And this design is reflected in the mould of each pan inside too. It’s gorgeous!

What Shades are in NARS Exposed Cheek Palette?

This is the best part! The Exposed palette contains all new shades and they are so pretty:

• GIVE IT AWAY – satin nude
• NEW FLING –  satin fuchsia
• NOW OR NEVER – satin terracotta
• COME HITHER – satin watermelon
• TELL ALL – pearlescent golden pink
• MAKE YOU MINE – satin peach

Here are the swatches:

I am loving these shades so much! The textures are so beautiful and I love that they can be used wet and dry. In fact, here they are wet so that you can see how the intensity changes when you dampen the brush:

Is the NARS Exposed Cheek Palette Good Value for Money?

When it comes to NARS blush, a cheek palette is definitely the way to go as they offer up a really good value saving compared to the individual blushes which retail at £25 each for 4.8g of powder. This palette is £46 for six shades at 3g each which total 18g of powder. If you want to buy NARS blush, this is the way to do it!

It is limited edition so snap it up to avoid missing out. The NARS seasonal palettes always sell out, just as an FYI. This one is particularly special because the packaging is just stunning and the shades are so gorgeous. I love how versatile they are – you can go from super sheer to bold, use them wet and dry and I think they work as well on the lids as they do on the face. I particularly love them wet on the lids.

It’s such a perfect colour palette for Spring. And stay tuned for news on the other elements of the NARS Spring 2019 products. There are some absolute beauties included.
